Song of the Day: 'Free Energy' by Free Energy

Probably best not to judge an album by its cover...Every day (we hope) The Oregonian Music Blog will post a song of the
day for you to enjoy. It might be a new song or just be an excuse to
geek out over our favorite bands. But it will always be worth a listen.
Let us know what you think of the song in the comments at the bottom.

But that isn't such a bad thing, when so much new music during the past couple of years has been lo-fi or "no-fi," fuzzed up and trashed out to its limits.

Free Energy's guitar riffs are so clean they're refreshing, even though the sound is a total throwback. Doesn't hurt that they're extremely catchy, too. Take the record's opening track, helpfully also titled "Free Energy."
